29th May 2010

So, my last update was sometime in january? new year's post.
well, lots of thing have happened between then and now. big ones are :
1. office trip to perhentian
2. getting my raise
and probably the most important one :
3. been nicotine free since 22nd may 2010

so yeah, i guess that is big enough to push me to write something about it.

so, lets recap. i first started smoking in 2003. my first ever stick was in march i think. then it was nothing till maybe june that year. it was during my first semester in uitm. peer pressure and boredome got the better of me i guess. i still remember the line Adly said to me when i wanted to buy my first box. "jangan beli, nanti terus sangkut." to which i answered "takde la, aku beli nak ganti yang aku pau korang punya. tak isap banyak pun". so funny. fast forward 6 years later, i was steadily puffing down 1 pack a day. sometimes more.

so finally, i stopped. its been a week. so far its been ok. sometimes the urge becomes strong. usually its bearable. i do notice i am more easily annoyed by little things and my driving habit is changing. i drive faster than i usually do, and i tend to use the horn more. also, i eat a lot more. so i guess what they say is true.


well, i hope i can ride this storm out and come out unscathed on the other side.
